Hello everyone. I would like to know which psu would be better with my setup ANTEC VP500PC ES, ATX v2.3, 120mm vent or ANTEC VP450P EC, ATX v2.3, 120mm vent
Setup:

The Antec VP500PC is made by CWT, is non-modular, has 1x 6-pin PCIE cable, provides 408W at +12VDC, and only has 2-year warranty.

The Antec VP450P is made by FSP, is also non-modular, also has 1x 6-pin PCIE cable, provides only 360W at +12VDC, and also only has 2-year warranty.

Both PSUs are more than enough to power your setup. But, both PSUs are not the best in terms of quality, efficiency, and build. If you are on a tight budget, then, get the cheaper one between the two.

If you want better-quality (longer warranty) units, then consider these as alternatives:

Antec EA-380D (EarthWatts Green 380W) at about ~$45 to $50
- made by Delta Electronics, rated 50C oper. temp, non-modular, 1x 6-pin, provides 336W at...

Thanks for reply.I will buy Corsair CX450M P/N: CP-9020101-EU or Antec VP450P but probably Corsair one.Now im not sure if any of those will fit my computer case
 


As long as you are getting a standard ATX or mATX computer case (since you have an mATX motherboard), the PSU as well as your other components would fit.
